Drawing on the poetry of Alda Merini, this new creation by Cie Linga brings seven performers and dedicated collaborators together in a politically charged, poetic ensemble. The piece explores collective choreography as a living, shifting organism: bodies merge, diverge and form ever-changing configurations that reveal individual singularities within a shared consciousness. Through intimate physical connections and circulating emotions, the company imagines diversity as a source of collective richness and a hopeful vision of communal joy.
